The Captive Duke (Captive Hearts, 1)

Why we recommend it

A historical captive romance where a duke and his prisoner are bound by circumstance and undeniable pull, this series opener leans into the charged dynamic of captor and captive in a period setting. Expect simmering tension, a commanding aristocratic hero, and the slow thaw of resistance into desire. For readers who like their dark romance dressed in corsets and candlelight, this offers forbidden longing with old-world danger and restraint.
